It was madness. Running around the scrub in 35 deg heat drinking green ginger wine at every stop. They describe themselves as drinkers with a running problem. Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen more than one of these t-shirts around our club! Been 'running' on the cross trainer the last couple of days - and feeling it, the fitness disappears FAST when you don't do it, doesn't it! But I stamped my feet on the floorboards to call the puppy off eating the boys legs this morning and nearly went through the roof with shin pain - I am CLEARLY not ready to run yet.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 did the physio tell you why you are getting shin splints MB? Mines were because I leaned in slightly to the inside of my foot, putting added pressure on the sheath thats around your muscles and attaches to the bone. that fibrous membrane was splintering, causing the pain I felt. After getting insoles to correct the lean it changed the way I walked and allowed the sheath to heal. Link to post Share on other sites

I have a heavy heel strike, and then as I roll through the length of my foot I have an aggressive pronation - inwards roll. I have next to no arches, and very weak anterior tibialis (apparently just one of those things and really difficult to train it to be stronger - although I have a couple of exercise I do every day for that). I also have hypermobile ankle joints, which means my ligaments and muscles in my ankle are working extra hard to stop me rolling my ankle. I pick my new orthotics up on tuesday (but I have been using an old pair - 15 yrs old!; and also bought some off the shelf ones - using them in different shoes - one set of my shoes are super aggressive in the arch, so I only have the light control ones in those shoes. Also the shoes - got Brooks Ariels which are the most aggressive on the market. Recommended by Podiatrist. Have been getting regular taping - of feet to lift arches, and of the anterior tibialis with 'magic' tape Had and having acupuncture to reduce the inflammation and speed healing. But it is going to take a while, even with those actions - stress fractures usually take 6 weeks of rest. I hope that is all it is. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 good luck then MB, cos I know how painful shin splints can be. I was 15-16 when I got them, wasn't carrying any weight and my mates justthought I was a lazy bassa making excuses for not playing footy. Link to post Share on other sites

yoroshiku onegai shimasu 2 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Been having a go at the old jogging myself the last few weeks. It's a bit of a slog but there's a target there, getting into some sort of shape by early August and so I'm pushing myself through it. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Anything special happening in early August YOS? I like running on the beach, but all running is off limits at the moment. More Acupuncture and Myofascial Release Massage today - GOD that hurt! Based on when I started treating this issue I should be half way through the recovery - but I feel like I am just at the beginning of a long haul. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I had a short run today - across a Rugby field to tell a Ref off. Umah! I think I am in trouble on two fronts....physio is gonna kill me, and not sure RugbyWA will be too happy with me questioning the referee, and pointing out that he was an idiot.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 YEah...not usually. I clocked #3 having trouble in the scrum and could see something was up... the opposition Loose Head tried to head butt him, my tight head pushed his back and stepped back, so the Loose Head took a swing and punched him across his jaw. I was not happy at that point. Ref told them both off, but went harder on mine (who is a big rule follower - not dirty at all - now if it was #4 that would be different, but this one is a clean respectful player.). Next scrum, kid headbutt mine so hard his ear bled and swelled - he pulled back, grabbed his ear and cried out the F word. Ref carded him for ref abuse, sent him off and docked the team 8pts. It was a disgrace. After our manager had a word with him with no response I took #3 across and made him look at the damage (looks like #3 will have one cauliflower ear by the end of it) - and pointed out that the kid is respectful and was not abusing him, but crying out in pain. If the refs can't look out for good kids playing a clean game then they will lose all those players and end up with just a horde of dirty players. I pointed out to him that this is the 2nd time in 2 weeks that #3 has been significantly injured in an uncontrolled scrum, and that it is really not acceptable. Respect the role; respect the person works both ways - he instantly gets the respect of my lad because of the role, but the harsh calls are rapidly making him lose all respect for the role. It was an extraordinary situation, but this year is particular bad for some reason - across all teams experiences. I don't have a problem with dodgy calls that give away play advantage, but where safety is concerned I get fired up. Mind you I had taken #4 home with a neck injury (from a poorly controlled scrum) in the early morning - so I was already a bit upset before this event too. Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 MB- Sounds like a crappy situation. I'm not sure how I would've reacted to that. I'm a believer of 'what happens on the field stays on the field'. My boy took a punch to the head after he nailed this kid in a bone jarring tackle. It was in full view of the ref and he dealt with it swiftly with a penalty. On the coaches side of the field, we dealt with professionally too (we all sit together) but the parents in the grandstand went nuts. A fight nearly broke out. The kids shrugged it off and played on, shaking hands at the end. All forgotten. It's a lot different to your situation I know but the point is, the parents seem to make a much bigger deal out of it than the kids. Sorry for hijacking the thread. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hey...I feel bad about hijacking it in the first place! I am definitely not one of those ugly parents, I only ever get involved when it is a safety issue. A punch would not have made me go see the ref, but potential for head injuries and spinals will. Not sure how yet, but I am hoping to help find a solution rather than just be a complaining biatch. Not scared of rolling my sleeves up and putting in. Already doing 20+ hrs a week voluntary for junior rugby, then there is PB .... He does even more. Its not about ref bashing. It needs to be about education to ensure no kid goes home in a wheelchair.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Rainy day here in Perth today - and I think the rest of my Cardio Class decided to use that excuse too Muika and Orange! There were only TWO of us. You can tell who the hardcore endorphin junkies are. Cardio was kick boxing today - which I was happy about - twice in a week However being such a 1 on 1 environment we were pushed hard and I have taken the skin off my knuckles again. They rub on the gloves when I am punching hard repeatedly (pyramid sets from 5 up to 30 and back down to 5 with 5 squats in between). I think I will need to tape my knuckles in future coz it takes about a week to heal. So who's running (or otherwise engaged in a workout) today? Link to post Share on other sites
